...emotionally undeveloped boy to commit such a ghastly deed. As the play progresses, however, it becomes less about Alan and more a commentary on the restrictive conventions of normality that "society" imposes. Dr. Dysart questions his own mission in light of Alan's passions. Through a series of well-written but somewhat overly weighty monologues, he challenges the audience to do the same...
...really normal?" theme in Equus won't win any points for originality. But the fact that the question is even asked in the face of the initial revulsion towards the crime is a tribute to the well-written script.

She writes that here it is "cool" to disdain those who enter corporate fields as greedy. I submit that if this is so, it is in large part because most of us face intense pressure to entere these "suitable...
...been pretty dry," she says; after all, Hollywood has not in recent history found the issues of middle-aged women to be particularly absorbing. But, Midler adds, "the phone rings for a while after a big hit like this." Hawn too would be happy if offered more well-written, age-appropriate roles. "But I love that we've been able to put out a movie where you drive down the street and women yell out of their cars, 'Way to go!'" she says. "That's a good feeling...
